A little bit about me

Hi my name is Annika and I have almost 10 years of childcare experience in a variety of settings. I grew up with three younger brothers and started caring for them from a young age, so child care is a natural instinct to me and something I'm very comfortable with! Apart from caring for my brothers during my childhood, I also started as a mothers helper at age 12 for a family with two daughters. From then on I was the resident babysitter for all the neighborhood kids, worked as a camp counselor (kids college summer camp), Spent a few summers providing nanny care for different families as well as teaching Sunday school at church and leading youth events for middle schoolers! I am a patient, kind and creative individual looking to provide child care for a family that needs it :) I am very flexible/accommodating and am willing to care for families in whatever way they are comfortable with!
